2017 YEAR IN REVIEW

Hello!

This past year has been a remarkable year for the ACFE and for you, our members. Not only was I able to share my experiences with you in Policing Fraud: My Journey from Street Cop to Anti-Fraud Leader, I also traveled extensively to see all the great work you and your chapters have been doing. It has been wonderful to see firsthand your dedication to fighting fraud. Your actions have spoken volumes and we at the ACFE want to celebrate all that you have accomplished in 2017.

Just as I told my story this year, you shared your story — not only with us, but with the world.
